I'm James and I'm from Hawaii. I'm 21, turning 22 in september. I'm graduating this May with a BA in animation from the university of hawaii, but I feel like my education is still not complete which is why I'm going to CalArts. From my time as a college student, I've come to love story telling and everything about the animation process as ideas are translated onto screen. I hope to one day animate and draw as well as all the other animation greats like andreas deja and james baxter :)

Think of conversations that you have with people, you don't move around or talk over them, you stay still and listen to what they are saying. Also yes it does keep the action easy to follow. As a filmmaker you need to guide the audience's eyes with a purpose, you don't want to have them looking everywhere on the screen.

Life is impossible to control and that's what makes it so beautiful :) every moment is fleeting. Think of all the experiences that you had 1 year ago, how many of them did you plan? something to think about~

    it also helps to study the skeleton, muscles, and internal structure of the person/animal that you are drawing. It will help in strengthening your gestures and drawing in general

I had my life drawing teacher look at my work and she picked out drawings that I thought were bad. Something about them caught her eye and as artists we are the hardest critics of our own work. Something that you may think is bad may in fact be good, you just don't know it yet :)

    since I'm graduating with a BA next semester, I would look for work but at the same time keep trying to apply for calarts. Not sure how many times I will try or where life will take me, but that's why it's exciting :D

I would say keep drawing and with time your eyes will get better at seeing. Try not to scratch the paper so much with whatever medium you're using. I recommend using charcoal instead of pencil since it's more bold and expressive. When you're shading in something think of the shadows as shapes and make sure to fill them in, don't sketch in the shadows.
    Make sure to draw what you see and not what you think you see, which is why drawing from photographs is a big no-no to get into most places. You need to work a little more on hands and feet, but it'll come with time and practice :)  less

Also, thanks. Well, here's a brief update: http://crystalperea.blogspot.com/2011/12/brief-update.html I need to retake the pictures, not from my iphone, and I have more to add, but haven't had the time to borrow a camera. If anyone has input, suggestions, critique, anything... have at it. Thanks.
    proportions are a bit off on the first one and I'm not sure if the color in it is working for you. Since everything else is in black and white, the shape of the color is the first thing I see and it feels incomplete. Maybe if there was some other color in the drawing to balance it out, but as of right now it feels unfinished  less

    I noticed that you have a problem drawing hands. I also noticed that the contours of your drawings are very dark, try to give a sense of that "implied line". You don't have to enclose the whole form in a contour.

Keep your lines more loose than sketchy and make confident marks. Like with anything, practice makes perfect so keep going. Doing 15second gestures really helps to train your eye to get the form down fast on paper
